The University of Hawaiʻi Board of Regents has scheduled a special public meeting with both presidential candidate finalists on Tuesday, May 27 starting at 9 a.m. at the UH Information Technology Center on the UH Mānoa campus.

The two candidates, David Lassner and Francis Wiercinski will each meet with the board in separate one hour sessions. They will be asked to give an introductory statement and participate in a question and answer session with the regents.

Following the candidates’ meetings with the board, the regents will meet in executive session.

On Monday, June 2 at 1 p.m., at the UH Information Technology Center on the UH Mānoa campus, the board will meet in an open session to conduct a formal vote on the next UH president.

Thank you for your question and apologies for the delay in response. The board meetings are open to the public and you are welcome to attend. There will be no live-streaming of the board meetings at this time. As for time off, that is something you would need to work out with your department.
